  • So Russell very kindly pointed in this direction for a fish poop strainer, and wow for £24.99 you can’t go past it!
    6w low consumption is better than internal filters, and its turnover is ideal for up to a 200 lt tank
    If you are interested in one I’ve linked the Amazon item on my affiliate account below, obviously you don’t have to buy it through that link but if you do check it out and perhaps buy

    I've got this filter on the back of my 90l cube. It's great, but gets air inside easily IMO.
    Also you have to make sure you have easy access to it. Mines right at the back almost up against the wall and it's a bloody pain to get to it putting it on and off is so awkward for me

    • @aquariumdelirium
      @aquariumdelirium  Місяць тому

      Both good points it’ll be a heavy unit to remove if you haven’t got good access to the back of the tank fully
      And the email thing I’ll watch out for
      Thanks for the heads up 👍👍

      It’s definitely got its flaws Daniel, no doubt, but a few improvements and these low wattage solutions may be the way to go
      The outside housing is well made but the trays are a bit 3d printed badly feel to them

      @aquariumdelirium  Місяць тому +1

      I can see where it’s faults are the fact of one clip being against the glass meaning you’d have to remove the full thing to clean is a big downside
      But I’m only really wanting it as a temporary solution until I move up a tank size for them

    Got a few of these, shame they aren't bigger (1500-2000 lph) priming is a total ball ache with these, i turn the filter off to do my water changes,then plug it back in once its topped up, only way to stop the air getting in, but once working there great an worth the money

    Hello Sir,
    I saw your UA-cam channel video. You have uploaded many beautiful videos. But your Video doesn't get views and subscriptions. This is because your title, keyword, rank tag, and Thumbnail are not properly SEO, so your video is not getting views and subscribers. If you fix them you will get better results.
